Nicholas Pyros, an architect who played a key role in redesigning downtown Wilkes-Barre's infrastructure after the flood of 1972 and helped save some historic buildings from demolition, died earlier this week following heart surgery. He was 86. Mr. Pyros and his business partner Don Sanderson designed much of what is modern day Public Square, drawing up the plans for three office buildings - the Alltel, Bicentennial and Martz properties - constructed on lots cleared due to the devastating flood.
